[Association between interleukin-1β C+3953T and genetic susceptibility to spontaneous preterm birth: a case-control
Objective:
To study the association between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) C+3953T and genetic susceptibility to spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB).
Methods:
In this case-control study, 753 SPTB neonates were enrolled in the case group and 681 full-term neonates were enrolled in the control group. The latest Sequenom MassARRAY®SNP detection technique was used for the typing of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of IL-1β C+3953T.
Results:
Compared with those carrying CC genotype of IL-1β C+3953T, the neonates who carried at least one T allele (CT+TT genotype) had significantly increased risks of SPTB, SPTB complicated by premature rupture of membranes, and mild preterm birth.
Conclusions:
In the Chinese population, IL-1β C+3953T has significant genetic association with an increased risk of SPTB. The identification of this SNP helps to prevent SPTB and clarify the causes and pathogenesis of SPTB.
